This AFO brace provides necessary support only where it is needed thus eliminating unnecessary bulk and providing a cosmetically appealing look.

Utilizes the energy storing properties of carbon fiber. The AFO brace is light but offers a strong and lightweight solution for people with mild to moderate of drop foot. 

Thisr AFO brace is for for AFO users with mild to moderate drop foot secondary to a variety of neurological conditions. The product comprises a footplate, posterior strut, and a calf piece. A simple velcro strapping system facilitates donning and doffing.

The product is provided with silicone padding and a thermo-formable tube covering the heel part of the posterior spring. This combination results in easier donning of the AFO and prevents damage of the padding in this vulnerable area. An elastic band connects the separate calf-piece to the posterior spring. This connection allows semi-controlled upward and downward motion in synchronization with ankle plantar flexion and dorsal flexion.

Excessive rubbing and migration of the calf-piece from the calf is, therefore, reduced. This product is available in black color only.

As a CMT

As a CMT patient, these are a good light option to keep me stable as a walk. They complete resolve my foot drop and help with my ankle instability. Just like with an AFO, Ive had issues adjusting to them. They have some sore spots where they rub my skin which I expected. Although they are expensive, they are $700 cheaper than what the dr. will charge. Worth the hassle of assembling them myself! Fast shipping, good material, light, comfortable, resolve foot drop Difficult to assemble, lots of sore spots where they rub skin

These AFOs are the

These AFOs are the best. Ive had various custom made AFOs that have been really uncomfortable and damaged my feet. These are lightweight but provide strong support. Lightweight carbon fibre means that these AFOs do not weigh down your feet or legs. The slim design means they slip reasonably easily into normal shoes. Cost! Theyre not cheap.

Very happy with results wearing the brace. Assembly instructions could be clearer. Hoping there is a way to get replacement padding & Velcro, as I could see those wearing out over time No longer worry about tripping & falling. Has also improved my back pain issues due to a more regular walking gait Assembly instructions. My wife & I both were confused by them. I literally had to just figure out how to assemble it by looking at it.
